High Point police charge 4 in million dollar interstate theft ring

3 arrested, 1 wanted after nearly yearlong investigation

High Point police have charged four people in connection with a multimillion-dollar vehicle theft ring running in at least four states. One suspect is still on the run.

Antonio Campbell, 24, of Adams Run, S.C.; and Yuri Monroe, 24, of High Point, were arrested in High Point Thursday. Each face 12 counts of felony larceny and two counts of receiving stolen property.

A third suspect, Christopher Black, was arrested in South Carolina and is awaiting extradition to North Carolina, police said.

Warrants are still outstanding for the arrest of Maurice Lamar Mitchell.

The arrests came after a nearly year-long investigation into the thefts of numerous vehicles, lawn equipment and other heavy equipment, police said. The thefts, estimated to cost millions of dollars, took place in at least North Carolina, Georgia, South Carolina and Virginia.

Campbell is being held under a $400,000 bond in the Guilford County Jail, while Monroe is being held under a $300,000 bond.

More charges are possible from other jurisdictions, police said.
